Who Are We?

Powered by technology and compassionate design, Parachute has reimagined the plasma donation experience into one that is easier and friendlier. Using a simple app, our members can book donations and track earnings from the palm of their hand.

In using a tech-forward approach, we're able to offer each member a highly personable and best-in-class experience that's consistent at each and every visit. Our vision is to introduce an elevated plasma donation experience that's grounded in convenience to markets with smaller populations.
